I'm excited to see so many from the alternative media deciding to move their work to Steemit, especially since the news of YouTube demonetizing channels, rampant Twitter shadow banning of accounts such as Julian Assange's and others, Facebook's blatant censorship tactics,  and the fact that there's more trolls on mainstream social media networks, namely Facebook,  than a game of Whack-A-Mole.

I decided to compile a list of those whose work I deeply appreciate in alternative media and  for those who may be interested in following, as well. 

Some of these accounts have been on board longer than others and there's a few who are merely starting out, yet have full intention in utilizing the benefits of the Steemit platform and migrating their work here. 

Here's my list of the top seven  names to follow in alternative, independent media - 

1. @Dbroze - Derrick Broze of the Conscious Resistance Network, and popularly known for his intern work with "Adam Vs. The Man". 
2. @AdamKokesh By far one of my favorites, Adam decided to make the switch a few months ago by uploading most of his videos to DTube. 
3. @CareyWedler Carey decided to make the leap to Steemit less than a couple of weeks ago and is reaping the benefits from posting her content! Carey is the editor in chief of well known alternative media publisher, The Anti-Media. 
4. @corbettreport - James Corbett has been one  name I have followed extensively throughout the years and has truly been an inspiration to many. 
5. @JohnVibes - John and Derrick published the "The Conscious Resistance Trilogy", a set of books helping the freedom loving individual better understand anarchy, agorism, and techniques to free oneself from the state - I highly recommend for anyone looking for means to defeat the system.  He is also known for his work at The Free Thought Project and True Activist, Free Your Mind conferences, and his book, "Alchemy of the Timeless Renaissance".
6. @dollarvigilante - Certainly a name to be reckoned with, Jeff Berwick's posts introduced me to the Steemit platform long before most people jumped on board. 
7. @LarkenRose -  Another intelligent human whom I would suggest listening to if you're curious on learning ways to deal with statists and tyrannical government agents. 

Honorable mentions: Activist Post- @activistpost, Max Igan - @maxigan, Luke Rudkowski- @lukewearechange, Dan Dicks - @pressfortruth, Jeremy Harding -  @insanityisfree, Jeffrey Hann - @jeffreyahann, Tyagananda Swaraj- @tyagananda, Catherine Bleish- @catherinebleish, Danilo Cuellar- @danilo-cuellar, Claire Bernish- @clairebernish, Paul Gordon- @paulgordon, Jeremy Henggeler  of Freedom Feens notoriety - @abolitionistjay, Shane Radliff of Liberty Under Attack, and author at The Conscious Resistance Network -@shaneradliff,  Tony Sayers- @tonysayers33, and Markie Balentine - @markie123567, and  Glen M. Sutphin-@nelga. 


These are just a few of those I openly support on Steemit and I've heard there will be several others focusing more intently on engaging Steemit as a decentralized platform to share ideas and be rewarded for their work.

If I've overlooked anyone  in the alternative, independent media that you think are well worth lending my support to on Steemit, please feel free to add his or her name in the comment section! Thanks!  

Remember, this is a great community because each of us makes it what it is!
